In reply to the discussion: Anyone missing George W. Bush? [View all]joshcryer
(62,536 posts)33. Trump, while detestable, has yet to do Bush level shit.
So far he's eating away at our democracy, as a willing puppet of Russia, but he can only do so much with executive orders.
If Gore was allowed the presidency, a lot would be different. The surplus would've continued, the country would've prospered, there would've been less war (9/11 may have still happened, but we would not have invaded Iraq).
As it stands now Trump is effectively a lame duck who can't get legislation passed, who is very divisive, and is likely to actually be impeached.
